any idea?

- Get visionary+
- Temproot your legend with it
- Use commandline with adb on your pc to flash misc1-2.img.
type the following commands from the folder where you have adb;
Code:
adb shell
su
accept the notification on your phone if one comes up
and then in the command line type this;
Code:
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
That should be enough to make it possible to run the 1.31 RUU.

same problem here..try many way as stated!!

and then?
run the RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_ 7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.exe?

Did you get the # symbol after the su command? If not, then you have to do temp root again.

What does ADB say? Do you have Debug Mode eneabled?

[Q] Epic 4G 2.2.1 SuperOneClick rooting problem

I'm trying to root my Sprint Epic 4G with SuperOneClick. The process goes through and I get a pop-up indicating that the phone has been successfully rooted. However, when I try to do anything that requires root (such as use wireless hotspot), I'm told by the application that I don't have root access.
Here's the output from SuperOneClick:
Code:
SuperOneClick v1.7.0.0

Success!
Is the issue related to the failure to copy Superuser.apk or busybox? If so, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to resolve this? If not, does anyone have any insight on the actual problem?
Thanks very much.

[SOLVED] Epic 4G 2.2.1 SuperOneClick rooting problem
Solved. Looks like it did unlock su mode, at least via ADB, so I was able to use mount to remount the /system partition read-write enabled and delete a couple things (mostly the Asphalt5 demo game). Tried SuperOneClick again and it installed busybox and Superuser.apk without issue.
Referenced this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773142
Command to remount was:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/<hardware path> /system

I'm trying to root my Epic and getting the same result you first got. I'm new to rooting and all this other stuff, so could you please explain how you resolved this in a way I may understand? Or point me in the right direction?

I'm sorry for the retarded question but why not just run oneclickroot 2.5 or 3?
I haven't heard of superoneclick, what's the difference?
I don't even see superoneclick as a rooting option in the development section of the forum.

i think its not that easy to me to do it manual
but thanks anyway for trying to help

Of course automatic ways are easier, but it' s not that difficult, just need a little more time and attention.
The other way is to find a prerooted boot.img and put it to .cust_backup/image folder(replacing the original). I haven't pro model, so my boot.img will not work

i tried this way but it didn't work too.. i found a prerooted boot.img.. replaced the original one but it didnt work

To just say didn't work doesn't help. Write where you get an error and which is. Then maybe I can help you(or someone with more knowledge).

i got the prerooted boot.img file for the U8800pro... replaced it with the original one.. But the phone is not booting.. It stuck on the huawie logo (the 1st logo before the one with the animation) so i had to put back the original one to make it work

I mean the error on manual rooting.
As fro prerooted boot.img file, are you sure that is compatible with ther rom you have? If is from a custom rom will not work. You need the boot.img of a phone with the same rom as yours, just rooted.

well, maybe it wasn't compatible with my stock rom.. do you have anywhere where i can find some prerooted imgs ?
and about the manual root.. i didnt got any errors coz i didnt know how to wirte those codes :s

Sorry I' don't know because I haven't a pro model and I don't know if there is a rooted boot.img uploaded fro pro mode. Maybe a member with pro read your thread and upload his img file.
-About manual rooting, you need to open DOS command prompt window. It' s in all progarms -> accessories
If you put the DoomLordRoot program in the root directory of your C drive and rename this folder to DoomLordRoot.v3(if have another name), you need to just put the commands one by one as given on the link I posted.
You just need to put first the command:
cd \DoomLordRoot.v3\files
to go to directory in which adb.exe is.
You can check if you are in the right path if you enter the command:
dir
afterwards. If you are in correct folder you'll see the files which are in c:\DoomLordRoot.v3\files directrory listed.
After that just start to follow the directions of the link. Just hit enter after every command you put. If you don' t see errors after every command you're ok. If you get an error on a command, write it here, for farther help. I don' t think that you' ll get an error, because I've done this proccess about 5 times and never get an error. But if you do, just put it here to see if we can help.

Thanks alot bro for the help.
well, i followed what u said but i think i got confused somewhere.. i'll type what i got.

Put su or sudo before command. like this "su /data/local/tmp/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system"

Yes, seems that you didn' t give the su command before(I think I've include command su, on my tutorial but I' m not sure. I'll check it).
If you see the symbol $ this means that you haven't get root rights yet.
Seems that zergrush succeed, so everytime after adb shell command, first you need to give the command:
su
If device is rooted, you'll see that the symbol changes to #
I think that you' re in good way though.

when i put SU in the begining it give me this :
su: permission denied

if you rebooted the phone you must run zergrush again.
Zergrush is the hack that unlocks the root account temporary. If you didn' t success to put su program on the right place, rooting access loosed after rebooted. su makes root permanent, busybox is an advanced shell and superuser is the app which used to give or denied root rights to apps which asking for this.
First be sure that zergrush is copied to data/local/tmp and you give to it the right permissions(all commands are in tutorial)
These messages mean that zergrush running

after that check if root succeed by input su command. If you get the # sign you're good to go to continue(exit shell etc)

i'm so sorry, but what do you mean with "If you didn' t success to put su program on the right place" ???? what where is the right palce ?

Some of the commands on tutorial handle the su program.
Push it to /system/bin(this is the right place), change its ownership, permissions etc.
For these commands to succeed(and also the commands for busybox and superuser), first need to enter to root account, by command su:
adb shell (press enter)
su (press enter)
these give the # sign which means that you are root.
If you don' t do this all commands will fail with errors as:
permission denied or cannot write to...

now i'm getting this:
C:\DoomLordRoot.v3\files>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
$ chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/zergRush

i think i will give up

yeah. great.
but this is an executable and osx does not support exe-files.
so both methods are not suitable for OSX
